Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
A Vision for Public Transport: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
The transport strategy referred to earlier has identified various locations. Coming from the south east we identified that when a DART station is built in Woodbrook, north of Bray, there is the possibility of having a strategic park and ride site there. In the meantime, we might look to see if we can expand park and ride facilities at Greystones, which is at the southern end of the DART system. I could pick various examples. Another is on the N4 corridor in Lucan, where there is potential to put something close to the Quarryvale junction. The issue is how we get a good transport service because it is not on a rail line. Park and ride on its own without a good transport service alongside it does not work. It goes back to the core bus corridors mentioned earlier. They must be good enough that the journey from that position to the city centre is fast and reliable each time. Various other locations have been identified and these are just a few examples.
